Eodras listened to the Haradrim speak as he laid against the tree, she didn't seem too impressed with the answer Eodras had given her. He didn't know what else she was going to expect from a Gondorian who all of his life had been raised and taught to hate her race. It would take a lot for his opinions to change.

After she'd spoken and started to walk off, Eodras quietly said "Good answer." Not knowing whether she heard him or not but not really caring either way. He slumped further down into the tree, trying to find a spot that would be comfortable enough to get some sleep, knowing he'd need all the energy he could get.

Within a few minutes Eodras had found a position that was bearable, he was curled up and the fire was keeping him warm while his makeshift tent was keeping him dry. His eyes started to get heavier and he could feel himself drifting away. As he fell asleep the woman from the forest came into his dreams as clear as if he was standing in front of her again, repeating everything that she'd said.

@Wick I'll be free tomorrow if you wanna do a collab. :)

Over the Misty Mountains [LOTR] [Hobbit]

Eodras slowly looked up to see the Haradrim woman standing over him, obviously the discrimination towards her had finally become too much. It wasn't just Eodras who been horrible with her, almost everyone hated her and it was a surprise that she'd managed to stay with the group for this long.

A few moments later she started to talk to him. Eodras watched her grin so he couldn’t really tell how bothered she was by his actions, did she not care or was she trying to mask her emotions with humour, Eodras had no idea. He took a while to actually say anything back to her. "I think you know that it wasn't a mistake Haradrim and if they're from the same place as you, that's how we treat women." Eodras calmly replied as he looked back down at the fire and took a bite out of the squirrel. "You can take your hand off your sword, I don't plan on having a fight tonight." Eodras sighed then looked back up at her leaning against the tree thinking. "Why would come this far north? You must have known people were going to treat you like this… You could have at least worn something a bit less noticeable."

Ethan, Ingrid, Matt, Nikki, Enzo and Ashton

(Collab with @Wick, @King Tai and @HaleyTheRandom)

Shortly after Enzo and Conroy got back from the medical supply run, Enzo was deeply worried about Violet as he didn't hesitate to rush to see her but Conroy was trying to calm him down first so to no lose his mind.

Enzo definitely didn't want to hear that shit as he was surprisingly aggressive towards Conroy Bro!! don't fucking touch me or stop me right now! Enzo said as Conroy looked back at him as if he was seeings a full 180. No...bro, you're going to act crazy...you're gonna be like how you were when Sis was dyin' Conroy said.

Enzo looked back with rage in his eyes from the mention of their sister and shoved Conroy out of the way and rushed to Violet, not wanting to talk anymore about what happened to their family with his brother. Violet was still living and the most important thing right now. Rushing, he heard: "fuck fuck fuck!", turning the corner to see Ethan near Violet while Matt was working on her. Rushing over, he kinda shoved pass Ethan to check on her Oh god....how is she now!? he said raising his voice.

Matt didn't even look up from his work. "Enzo I'm cutting out the dead flesh because it got infected. You guys went and got the things I needed but I had to start while you were gone. She is a little drunk and so far she is doing well."

Ethan was about to go and hold Violets hand as she was lying on the table, but before he could, Enzo barged past him getting to Violet first. Not expecting to get pushed, Ethan stumbled to the side nearly knocking over a load of equipment. "Well that was clever." Ethan quielty said shaking his head at him. Ethan walked across the room to behind Ingrid rubbing her back to make her feel better, knowing guilt was a horrible burden. He watched Matt cut away bits of Violets skin, oddly fascinated at what he was watching. "Next time you want to play electrician Violet, I'll help you. These lot don't really seem the most qualified." Ethan laughed trying to lighten the mood.

Enzo heard out Matt when he explained what was going on and went to softly touch Violet's hand. He heard Ethan speak and looked over his shoulder Hm?....oh....sorry bout that mon.... he said apologizing about shoving pass him. It was a little hint of jealousy but mostly worry for Violet. Sitting there for a moment, he watched Matt do his work until he could get finished.

Conroy on the other hand, after his brother shoved him and left him, he shook his head and figured that walking around to clear his head should help him to get his mind off of things. It's been crazy since coming here and the lovey dovey stuff was starting to sort of get to him. He felt a little like the 3rd wheel but he figured.....what the fuck...he'll probably will meet his own gal that will probably die before him anyway. He turned to walk down the hallway.

Ashton couldn't take it. The people here were to friendly. Everyone knew each other, and her she was, a loner, an outsider, just coming in and being tossed where she could. Figuratively, of course, as the group was nice, but Ash just felt, well, out of place. She walked into the room where Violet was being operated on. God, why did that woman have to go and play electrician? She sighed, watching Matt work as two men that she hadn't seen before came in, one shoving the other out of the way. She raised a brow at the one who did the actual shoving. Who the hell did he think he was? They were all concerned about Violet, even Ash herself.

Not being able to stand watching as the damaged flesh was pulled from the womans body, Ashton walked out of the room herself, and began down the hall. Not paying attention, she oh-so-naturally bumped into one of the young men she had noticed previously.

Ingrid felt Ethan's hands reassuring and strong. She put her hand on his. "Ethan, I'm so sorry. It was an accident I didn' know she was inside the HVAC unit strippin' it for parts. I wouldna' hurt her like that on purpose." Ingrid wiped the tears that were running down her face.

Matt kicked them all out. "I have to use this machine here to try to replace the skin she lost so only Sasha needs to stay. Enzo you can stay as long as you stay out of the way."

Ethan smiled at Ingrid who was visually distraught about what had happened. He'd never seen her like this before, she was never upset or scared. "Come on let's leave Matt alone, he needs to concentrate." Ethan calmly said, slowly walking to the door holding Ingrid's hand. His mood had completley changed from when he walked in the room, which was remarkable. As he was in the doorway, he gently said, "Violet I'll come and check on you in the morning, see how you're feeling." He then looked at Matt and nodded his head in appreciation. When he walked out the room, he kissed Ingrid on the forhead and told her, "Lets get to bed. I think you need some rest... Just next time, leave that type of work for me..." Ethan laughed trying to get Ingrid to cheer up.

Enzo, for a moment sat there with Violet until Matt spoke about a machine to help replace Violet's skin. As gross as that sounded, he still wanted to be there for her but that was when Matt told everyone to leave except for Enzo as long as he was out of the way to let Matt and Sasha work on his Purp. Enzo nodded, agreeing to be out of the way and staying quiet Alright....if you need me to do anything, I'm down to help. he said moving away from her to let them work.

Conroy was not really in a good mood at the moment regardless of the provisions that's been held in this school. He was still on edge sfrom having to fight day by day in the outside, not sleeping, constantly running, fighting, and hiding. But to be left here in a peaceful place...this was quite and adjustment and he didn't know if he'd be able to take it. That was until he was bumped into by a female and looked up with irritation What the fuck, mon? he said to her. He remembered the girl from before but never officially met her It's you....who the fuck are you? he said not in an aggressive tone but in a casual one.

Ingrid quieted and she asked Ethan, "So do ya hate me now? I know you care about her." She was unusually insecure for some reason. She was tired and she lay on the bed and closed her eyes. "Please, don't let Kyle near Nikki. She caught him cheating on her maybe an hour ago. Right now he is at the top of my "People I would like to kill list."

As Ethan laid on the bed with Ingrid, he smiled listening to her. "Shut up." He jokingly said, "I don't hate you." He lightly pushed her chin up so they were looking into eachother's eyes. "I like you so." Ethan quietly said before he kissed her. "Now get some sleep, I'll go and check on Nikki."

Ethan left the room and casually walked to Nikki's, he opened up the door and leaned on the door frame looking at her. "So... Captain stoner and Captain crazy were getting off with each other..." He looked at her reaction and told her how he found out, "Ingrid just told me." He slowly walked into and sat on the edge of the bed, "You okay? Well I know how you'll be feeling but it's always best to vent."

"Ethan, I know he hit his head and he doesn't remember US, but that doesn't excuse him. We've talked and he knows we are married and I'm pregnant with his baby. He can't say he didn't know. " Nikki's eyes were red from crying and she had her hand on her baby bump. "He seems to like the idea of getting high and pretending he is still in high school. No pun intended there. "

All Ethan could do was laugh at what she said, he didn't even think of the pun until she told him. "Yeah... you've not really found yourself in the easiest of situations. I want to say I know how you feel but I think it's a first." Ethan put his arm around her knowing everyone liked hugs when they were feeling bad. "I've never really been the best with words and what to say... but people always seem to tell me their problems... So if you want to just bitch about them both, I'll listen." Ethan let out a quiet laugh.

Nikki smiled. "I don't want to think about it. I brought tv in from av and I found a couple of comedies. Will you stay and watch one with me?" Nikki hugged him back. The thought of having a baby and it's father not being with her was daunting. She moved over on the bed and piled blankets and pillows so they could sit up and see the tv. "Come on there is plenty of room."

"Budge up then." Ethan casually said to her, he wanted to be curled up with Ingrid but he knew Nikki needed someone more. Ethan jumped on the bed and chucked a pillow behind him getting ready to watch a film. He'd forgotten how much he liked films, Ethan hadn't watched one since before the apocalypse seeing that Dana Point lost electricity pretty quickly. "What we watching first?"

Over the Misty Mountains [LOTR] [Hobbit]

The cloak did a good job of keeping the elements off of Eodras. All he needed now was a fire set up, which would prove slightly difficult with all this rain. He went about the forest not going too far away from the camp snapping branches off of the lower parts of the trees. Any bits of wood that was on the floor would be too wet and would only cause smoke, so he had to settle for the branches.

It took a little while longer to get the fire going, which he made around a foot away from his tent so he didn't start to inhale all of the smoke. A few minutes later, he'd set up a make shift grill. There was two sticks either side of the fire with a branch hooking on to them with a skinned and gutted squirrel impaled on it. Not really a meal for kings but Eodras was content. A fire and the smell of meat cooking always warmed the soul.

As Eodras sat flipping over the meat, he noticed the Haradrim again. He spat on the floor as she walked past. Eodras had no idea what she was like, but he despised her. Everyone in Gondor hated the Haradrim, even though most of them had never met one before. His Father used to tell him stories about ambushing Haradrim armies, who tired to invade their lands. After a while, he stopped thinking of her and went back to his food holding on to either side of the sticks and taking a bite out of the squirrel. When he was eating the meat, the dwarfs started to sing, Eodras started tapping his foot on the floor going with the beat with a smile on his face.

Ethan Blackledge

The day went pretty quickly for Ethan, when he found out that everyone was going on supply runs, he decided to stay behind on his own. Well there was other people wondering around the school, but Ethan hadn't really talked to anyone who was still there. Kyle was wondering about in his own bubble and Jacklyn was there as well but staying to herself like usual. Ethan didn't really care though, he enjoyed the silence sometimes.

The first thing that Ethan wanted to check up on was the windows, making sure he boarded up any that had broke for whatever reason. The school was fairly still in a good condition, which confused Ethan a little. He knew that a building without being maintained would start to fall apart quite quickly. As Ethan was busy breaking up one of desks to cover up a broken window, he started to think to himself whether people came here after the apocalypse. It would explain why everything was still good and all the water supplies still worked. The more worrying question though if Ethan was right, was what forced the people to leave. Maybe just a horde of Walkers or maybe another group? Ethan hoped he was wrong.

Ethan was too busy making minor repairs to the school that he hadn't noticed people arriving back at the school. He was in his own little world going about making repairs, as he was wandering about the basement though, he found something that made him laugh. The janitors room had a bottle of vodka stashed in there. The first thing Ethan did was take a big gulp of it. It was the first strong drink he'd had in more than a month and he thought it was well deserved. Immediately as the vodka hit the back of his throat he started to wince. "Ohhh that's good." Ethan said to himself as he started to cough and laugh at the same time. Ethan kept the rest, thinking Ingrid would want to get drunk. Every Irish and British person he knew loved to drink.

Later on as Ethan got in bed with Ingrid, he hadn't realized that he'd not stopped moving all day and was too tired for the vodka. As they both got into the bed, Ingrid had told Ethan what happened to Violet. Ethan didn’t really know what to say, he just hoped she was okay. They'd become good friends over the past month, well that's what Ethan thought, he had no clue what Violet thought of him and the way he left things with her about sharing a room made it all the more awkward. In the morning he'd check up on her to see how she was feeling. Soon enough though, they were both asleep. Ethan didn't really sleep much but when he did manage to fall asleep, not much could wake him.

The sounds of crying started to slowly bring Ethan back to the real world. As he opened his eyes, Ethan noticed that Ingrid was gone and had stopped. "Ingrid?" Ethan tiredly said as he slowly rubbed the sleep out of his eyes, sitting on the side of his bed. When she didn't answer Ethan he decided to go and make sure everything was okay. He'd slept naked, so he started to rummage around in the dark room grabbing whatever pants and top he got his hands on. Ethan had a good body, but he was pretty sure no one wanted to see him wandering around naked.

Within a few seconds, Ethan had left the room and started to hear a familiar Irish accent coming from the down the hall way. A few seconds later, Ethan saw Sasha rushing into a room. "What is going on?" Ethan said to himself confused as he started to move a little faster. As he walked into the room, straight away he noticed Violet lying on the floor with Matt cutting bits of her skin off. "What the fuck?" Ethan shouted interrupting Sasha. "Fuck, fuck, fuck." Ethan said panicking, he'd seen plenty of the dead bodies, but never a live surgery. The panicking started to set in slightly, mainly for the fact he had zero knowledge on medicine. "Anything I can do?" Ethan started to speak quickly. "But just remember, I've not been to school since I was sixteen and my knowledge is quite limited." Ethan stood there with us mouth open looking confused.
